Reply to comment by Neinbozobozobozo in Spending bill secures funds for Native American health care. Access to health care for Native Americans across the U.S. will be bolstered with funding included in a government spending bill approved by Congress. by Sariel007
I used to work for a tribe in which one faction was constantly trying to disenroll another, partly to get rid of its political opponents and partly to make the remaining members' per-capita checks bigger.
In some instances, the disenrolled people were tribal members who had lived on the reservation their whole lives. They lost their per-cap checks, their access to healthcare, even in some cases the right to advertise their artwork as genuine Native American art. It was really a sad situation.
